gard for sense than for pretentions, and
where presumption has never been mis-
taken for any length of time for solid
worth. If this little person to whom some
unwise people are giving q dinner
was not SO pulled up and exag-
gersted in his own conceit, he would
remember that the man who has sawed
wood under a No. hat, when he comes
to be member Of the Assembly wants to
wear No. s. It is nevertheless
annoying that person such
as Roosevelt should object in
such a manner to the most
conspicuous character in the last national
campaign, and that he should make his
objection with such a remarkable COM
parison of himself with Mr.. Blaine. AS
to any objections he might have had to
the presence of other gentlemen than Mr.
Elkins, have nothing to say beyond this,
that 1 had been persuaded to
accept the invitation of q
friend to be present. I was not
seeking plate. There are plenty on my
ranch. The incident Is simply an illustra-
ton of the extraordinary littleness Of
mind that may p ssess a man. If Mr..
Elkins or Mr.. Dorsey w&0t their shoes
tied, you may say they might send for

Hard on the N1ugwump.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Federal club
is new social political organization re-
Gently formed in this city. 1t was started
about five months ago and its member
ship now numbers 100. 1t is likely to
be rival to the Republican club which
not long ago gave dinner and an oppor-
tunity to Governor Foraker of Ohio to
make a speech. The Federal club
gave banquet tonight at Delmonico's
to Theo @. Roosevelt This was the
clubs first Introduction to the public and
the officers made the most of it. Accord
ing to the World this morning, trouble
has already entered the doors of the new
club. It is said that Roosevelt objected
to invitations being sent to French, Elk
inS and Dorsey.
One Of the committee, so the story
goes, said: "What the matter with
Elkins?"
"Blaine had Belshazzar FEAST" MIR.
Roosevelt is reported to have said. 'T
can't afford to have one We are not
Blaine men, anyway; we are against
Blaine"
Senator Dorsey was seen at the Fifth
Avenue hotel last night and asked con-
corning the affair. SIT is 8 matter l
know nothing about" said he. "Elkins
and l are not on what would be called
friendly terms, but l am frank to say if
there is Republican dinner anywhere,
or of any kind, to any one that
he can't attend, it is no place for any Re

come when the line must be drawn.

ton on the Part of the Order for Its Ohief.
DENVER, CAL, May 11.-Grand Mas
ter Workman Powderly was to-day shown
telegram from Chicago, received Mon
day, which stated that circulars had been
sent to all prominent labor assemblies of
California, Oregon, Colorado, Nebraska,
Illinois, Michigan and Missouri by AS
sembly No. 1888 of Portland, Oregon, de-
-ueuncing him for rejoicing at the
result of the Chicago municipal
election and demanding that ne
be deposed from Office. Mr.. Powderly
stated there was not word of truth in
the report, and that the mere fact of its
publication is sufficient Indication of
its untruthfulness. eff the knights have
qusrrels or any grievances against their
officers they do not rush into print.
They have their own courses, and their
charges will be brought up in
regular form. That handful of anarchists
in this county have been making all sorts
of moves to gain admission into the
Knights OF Labor and cause dissatisfac-
tion. Thus far they have failed, and
every few weeks they attempt to spread
over the country, through the news
papers, report of some new dissatis-
faction in the ranks of our organization.

move for providing the "sinews of war"
tO-wit, money. The following appeal to
tall anti-prohibltionists" is promulgated
to-day:
ROOMS OF STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE,
WACO, TEX, May 10, 1887.
frequent suggestions are being made
as to the conduct of the canvass, all of
which involve the expenditure of money.
l desire to say to the friends of anti
prohibition throughout the state, that no
funds have been furnished me for cam
paign purposes, and that for this reason
[ am unable to respond to these sugges-
tions. We need funds with which to pay
for necessary printing and publications,
and other legitimate expenses of the
canvass, and | know of no other way
of raising these funds except by the
voluntary contributions of our friends
throughout the state. This is q fight OF
the people for the maintenance of their
institutions, and we need expect no out
side help. 1t can be won without pur-
chase, and is not worth winning If it
mus be bought. No heavy expenditures
are necessary or proper, but the eXecu-
tive committee should be furnished with
sufficient money to defray unavoidable
expenses. Contributions may be sent to
John K. Rose, cashier of the Waco Ma
tional Bank, who will act as treasurer for
US during the campaign"
This is signed by George Clark, chair
man of the state executive committee OF

THE JACKSON TRAGEDY.
The Assassination of tho Editor of Sword
and Shield Bitterly Denounced.


and Shield Bitterly Denounced.
JACKSON, MISS, May 1.-THE New
Mississippian, published by Martin Bros.
in the same building where the Sword
and Shield (GambreII's paper is pub
lished, came out with a two-column edl-
fair index to the entire article. They read
as follows: "The Slaughter of RID. Gam
brell-Colonel James Hamilton with Four
Accessories Hunt down the Brave Young
Editor of the Sword and Shield and Sur
round and Murder Him in the Night"
The whole affair is then treated of in the
strongest possible language, concluding
as follows: SIT is not improbable that
soon another shot will ring out in the
night and another coroner's jury go into
their solemn work, but if the men who
have recently done their awful deed
think they can place their bloody
hand over those papers which have
determined to speak out and muzzle and
terrify them, they have erred. The Sword
and Shield will go on in its warfare for
truth and over the grave of this hero that
paper will 60 out with assignments of
the guilty as terrible as before. There
are three editors on this paper and each
one is willing to lay down his life if it
must be, rather than to falter in
journalistic duty and be prevented
from publicly advocating principles it
has honestly cherished, and then some
one holder and drawer than we will take
hold of the paper we have left and carry
the struggle on and on with bitter and
awful conviction of the invincibihty
of right against the wrong" The Sword
and Shield, the dead EDITORS paper, will
appear to-day, and there is great interest
felt as to what it will say.

POVERTY MUST EXIST AMONG MEN.
Not Sufficient Wealth in the World to
Make all it's Inhabitants Comfortable.

Make all it's Inhabitants Comfortable.
From the Forum for December.
1t seems to be a prevalent impression
that poverty is unnecessary and that the
fact of its existence is only consequence
of the present unequal distribution of the
worlds wealth. Hence the upspringing of
anti-poverty societies and other plausible
projects for setting things to rights and for
the general diffusion If affiuence among men.
But this hypothesis is totally untenable All
the worlds wealth put together, if equally
distributed, would not suffice to make the
worlds people rich, or even to relieve them
from the pressure Of want-a pressure which
in that case would be universal. For what
the world has to live on from year to year is
only the aggregate annual product of all the
industries of the world; and what this
amounts to in civilized lands at least, has
been pretty well ascertained by inquiries
elaboratelv conducted under public author
ity From the results of such inquiries it is
quite apparent that if this aggregate product
were TO be distributed with the most rigor-
Gus impartiality among all the inhabitants
of the countries investigated, it could at
most only supply the simple necessities of
life, and nobody would be in what are
called circumstances of ease.
To come down, however, from generali-
UlSS 10 statements u llbuI0 tlOI6 we
may observe that Mr.. Edward Atkinson, of
Boston--a gentleman who has devoted some
years to the study Of industrial statistics.
and whose familiarity with facts entities his
opinion to the highest consideration-has
furnished us with an estimate which throws,
for our own country at least, very vivid
light upon the point in question. As the
result of his inquiries he concludes that the
annual production of all the industries of the
United States cannot exceed $500 per head
of the population, which would give total
of $4,000 100000. An equal distribution
of this product would give to each family of
five persons in a population of go, 100000 or
II, 200, 900 families, a distributive share of
81 900 per annum. Now, suppose that one
third of these families, or groups of five man
age to secure an average share of 81 900 per
annum, the remaining two-thirds would be
reduced to an average of $500 only. Sup
pose one-half of this third to be fortunate
enough or slzillful enough to increase their
average to IS, 900, the remaining half con-
tinuing at 81, 900, the average share of the
two-thirds would fall TO $3.50, or $50 only
per head per apnum.

MRS. CLEVELAND IN PERIL.
Not Appalled,, However, Though the

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2-While out driv-
ing behind the famous ''seal browns" this
afternoon Mrs. Cleveland met with an acct
dent, which might have proved very seri-
GUS. The weather has been warm and damp
of late, and the concrete roadways are COW
cred with a Shiny ooze, making them nearly
as slippery as ice The White House horses
are very fat. from high feeding and little
exercise, and their shoes are worn smooth.
While passing the Ebbett House at lively
pace the off horse slipped and fell, dragging
his mate down with him. The pole bent
like bow, and the front wheels left the
ground. For moment it seemed as if the
carriage must be overturned and wrecked.
A dozen by-standers rushed to the horses
heads, but burly Albert, the White House
coachman, waved them aside, cracked his
whip, leaned forward, and seizing the reins
tightly, literally lifted the animals to their
feet. Mrs. Cleveland was accompanied by
a lady friend and her maid. The lady
friend rose as if TO leap from the. carriage,
and the maid screamed Historically. "The
first lady in the land,n however, sat quietly
in her seat, and aside from paling triie,
did not exhibit the slightest indication Of
fear. AS Albert touched up the browns
and the carriage rolled off she smilingly
bowed her thanks to those who had rushed
to her rescue

WHAT KEPT LINCOLN AWAKE.
How the War President Rebuked the
Late Gen. Leavenworth.
Ffon, the PhiladeEphta P,,es!

From the Philadelphia Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Ell see the death
announced of Gen Elias W. Leavenworth,
of Syracuse, who was member of the
Forty-fourth Congress. He is very pleas
antly remembered in Washington as a
gentleman of courtly manners and liberal
entertainer They used to tell a story
about him that l think never got into the
newspapers.
During the darkest days of the war there
was a squabble in Syracuse over the ap-
pointment Of a postmaster. Two factions
of the Republican party had candidates,
and each had sent to Washington numer-
ously signed petitions for the appointment
of its favorite. Finally, to get the matte
settled, delegation, composed of the
wealthest men of the town and several of
the most prominent ministers and LAWYERS,
headed by Gen. Leavenworth, visited the
national Capital and secured an audience
with President Lincoln. Gen. Leavenworth
had carefully prepared his speech to Mr..
Lincoln, and it ran something like this:
Mr. PREsIDENT-It is with great reluctance
that we intrude upon you this morning. We
appreciate the awful responsibilities and per-
piexities of your position and do not forget that
the very life of the nation is in your hands.
But, Mr.. President, the people of the great.
loyal North are at yovr back and they are
praying, sir, that your life may be spared and
that you may be given strength to carry this
war through TO a successful issue.
Mr.. Lincoln listened to Gen. Leavenworth
with some impatience until he reached this
point and then interrupted him with:
assure you, my dear sir, that it isn't the
war or the army that is worrying the life out of
me; it is that blamed Syracuse Postoffice that is
keeping Inc awake nights.
Gen. Leavenworth did not finish his
- .AalA l-..
in the briefest possible manner and felt
much more comfortable when they reached
Pennsylvania avenue than they did in the
presence OF the President.
